"I knew the FlipPal was a great product, but this webinar makes me
think it should be nominated as Product of the Century," is what one
webinar attendee expressed after watching Gordon Nuttall's demonstration
of the Flip-Pal™ Mobile Scanner today. Another wrote, "my
nieces/nephews ages 2, 6, and 10 enjoyed using the flip-pal. With a
little direction, the two year old found the big "green" button. He was
thrilled!" After seeing how easy it is to use and learning about its
portability, I just might agree with these comments.
